Statement by the Minister for Social Justice: Tackling institutionalised and systemic racism—Anti-racist Wales Action Plan
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, and I'm really pleased to have an opportunity to speak on the statement today, and I really, really do welcome it. If we're going to look at—and this plan is—ending institutional racism and systemic racism, then we clearly have to…

Statement by the Deputy Minister for Social Partnership: The Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Bill
Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. I thank you for the statement today, Deputy Minister, and I want to completely dissociate myself from the comments of Joel James and his anti-trade-union stand, and accusing them of all sorts of unsubstantiated statements. I'm a proud…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
In many ways, my question's been answered. But I just want to focus on behaviour change and the modal shift: any thoughts that you might have on the difference, say, between rural and urban, or commuter versus leisure, and any way that we perhaps need to…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
Yes, I did. It was just the bus driver training in small companies as an opportunity, perhaps, for some people in an area to learn skills close to home, and whether there's any offer of help from Government or, if there was any offer of help in terms of…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
No. I was just looking at—. It was about the uncertainty, basically, but I think it's been answered.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 3
It's already been touched on there by community transport, but it's about the level of uncertainty in demand and how that is affecting bus and rail travel, and whether you've made any assessment of how we should be looking to move forward.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Yes, the only thing that hasn't been touched on is the road user charging policy that has been suggested and any views that you might have on that. But that's the only area that hasn't been touched on.

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
I just want to explore that slightly further. Whilst there is obviously change that's happening, and you mentioned e-commerce—I was going to mention it, but you've mentioned it—there are still people who will still want to travel for other reasons. How do we…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 2
Good afternoon, everybody. It has already been alluded to by David that the purpose of public transport is changing—in other words, the way people access it. Have you done any assessment of the level of uncertainty that that is causing around demand for both…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 1
[Inaudible.]—coming down the track very quickly, and it's here, actually—the cost-of-living crisis, and now the fact that the price of diesel is shooting up so you can't even be guaranteed the same price for diesel in the same day. And that's hitting…

Bus and rail transport in Wales - evidence session 1
Good morning, both. You have talked about the changing nature of the use of public transport already. So, what is the purpose or what do you see is the purpose of public transport, going forward, with a mind to those changes? And how are the providers going…

Questions to the Minister for Finance and Local Government
I thank you for you answer, Minister. The Welsh Government is of course using every tool in its box to put money back into people's pockets, but the UK Government doesn't seem to realise or care about the scale of the emergency my constituents and people up…

Statement by the Counsel General and Minister for the Constitution: Justice in Wales
I welcome, of course, this statement today. I want to focus particularly on three areas that I think are critical to any justice system. The first is ensuring the separation of the justice system from any political interference or influence. And, of course…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Professor Sir Sam Everington
One of the challenges we've heard about, and of course you're right in the middle of it, the area, is reaching and giving appropriate services to culturally diverse groups of people. The other area, and you mentioned it, is reaching out to younger people, to…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
Do you think—? Have you looked at Welsh Government policy on this issue, because lots of you do look at Welsh Government policy, and have you found that there is enough focus on rural transport or transport more generally?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
Yes. Also, the availability of the services within the area, so not only getting to the services, but are the services there in the very first place? Or is there a dearth of services in some of those areas?
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
[Inaudible.]—area of that, of course, people feel left out, very often, is the geographic challenge of where they live and access to public transport. You've already mentioned limited online availability as well. So, how can we address this? Do people—have…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
Yes. You've all talked about sustainability through financial stability for those projects. So, would you say that that's one of the key elements of keeping community solutions and community programmes going to effect a good outcome for people with mental…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Mind Cymru and Leonard Cheshire
Good afternoon, everybody. I want to talk about community solutions and the role that the community can and does play in building mental health and well-being, and supporting those with mental ill health. Can you talk us through any examples of community…

Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Okay. There are a number of questions on this, but we can't go into it, because time isn't going to allow us. We might write to you, because there was a series of questions raised.
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
I'm going to ask about social prescribing and your role in that, if you have one. We've already had witnesses this morning that said that there are barriers. One of them, of course, was ongoing finance, because of the nature of short-term employment, 12 weeks…
, Health and Social Care Committee
Mental health inequalities: evidence session with Public Health Wales
Okay. So, you recognise that it's tricky, so what is it that needs to change to make it less tricky and more readable?
